What 90962 covers

This code represents monthly management of end-stage renal disease for an adult receiving dialysis outside the home-dialysis monthly service series. A nephrologist or other qualified health care professional typically evaluates the patient and manages ESRD-related concerns such as dialysis adequacy, vascular access, fluid status, anemia, medication needs, and complications. Care may involve coordination with the dialysis facility and the patient’s broader treatment team.

Report one unit for the calendar month when the patient is age 20 or older and the service meets the one-visit level. Select the monthly code using the patient’s age, dialysis setting or modality, and number of qualifying visits during the month; this code is distinct from levels for two or three visits and four or more visits. Documentation should support the visit and the monthly ESRD management provided. It represents monthly care, not a separate charge for each dialysis session.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

90962 billing questions

When is 90962 selected instead of 90961 or 90960?

Use 90962 for an eligible patient age 20 or older when there is one qualifying visit in the month. The other codes in this group correspond to two or three visits, or four or more visits.

Does 90962 represent each dialysis treatment?

No. It represents the monthly ESRD-related management level, not a per-session service. Do not count each dialysis treatment as a separate unit of 90962.

Can 90962 be used for a patient receiving home dialysis?

The home-dialysis monthly series has separate codes, including 90966 for patients age 20 or older. Choose the code that matches the patient’s dialysis setting and monthly circumstances.

What documentation supports the one-visit level?

Document the date and substance of the qualifying visit, the patient’s ESRD-related assessment and management, and the care coordination performed. The record should also support the patient’s age and dialysis circumstances.

What if monthly ESRD care covers only part of the month?

The per-day ESRD service series may be relevant when care is provided for only part of a month. For a patient age 20 or older, compare the circumstances with 90970.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
